The PhDnix Park Informers.

Dublin Dispatch to n. Y. World.
After the Phoenix Park trials and
the subsequent execution of those
convicted of the murder of Lord
Frederick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke,
public feeling against the infOrmers
ran so high that they were kept in
prison to save their lives. The
government cast about for means
whereby to get rid of such loath-
some membranes, and finally,
with much secrecy and disguise,
smuggled Kavanagh, Smith, Carey
and Farrell out of the country to
various colonies. News has just
been received here of the fate of the
four informers. Kavanagh the car
man, has been dead some time
He always drank hard, and after
leaving Ireland went from bad to
worse, and finally succumbed to
delerium tremens. Joe Smith, who
from working for the board of
works and making repairs in Dub
lin Castle, knew Mr.. Burke and
pointed him out to the assassins, is
also dead. He died under much
the same circumstances as Kava-
nagh. Peter Carey, the brother of
the notorious James Carey, who
was shot by O'Donnell, has done
remarkably well, and is now in
prosperous circumstances in one OF
the colonies. He was, when in Dub
lin, always regarded as sober,
steady and clever artisan. Bob
Ferrell, the van driver, who first
turned informer, is doing we'll in
another of the colonies.

A man was brought before a JUS
tice of the peace in Dakota "no
license" county charged with sell
ing liquor. The sheriff who made
the arrest brought along a large
demijohn of whisky which he had
found on the premises.
"Jes' lemme see that jug o. lick
err said the judge.
1t was handed to him, he pulled
out the cork, tilted it up and took
a couple of large swallows. Then
he turned to the prosecuting attor-
ney and said:
'Pretty good stuff, hey"
81 don't know anything about it,
your honor"
"Try it, then, try it-gosh all
hemlock (! this hain't no individual
affair-takc a good snort NV it."
"Your honor, l never drink"
"Don't drink, hey. ! don't be-
lieve ye've ever been admitted to
practice then! Hanged if don't
make We show up yer papers for it
fore another trial. Well, here's
lookin' at you ducks again." Then
turning to the sheriff he added {:
That's the pure quill, amt it Ike?"
"'Pears to be-"
81 lowed We wouldn't bring it in
'thout hittin' it. Want o irrigate
again"
"Don't care if | do"
The demijohn was passed over to
the sheriff and he and the attorney
for the defense and the witnesses
and the prisoners all sampled it.
After the judge had taken another
pull at it the attorney for the de-
iense arose and said:
"Your honor, it dosn't seem to
me that any one can be convicted
for selling such good liquor as that" "
"I'sh cussed if | don't b'lieve

81 think so, your honor"
"Corsh. Prishner's d'sharged."

attorney, this isn't legal"
"Shut up!-ye'sh fined $40 fer

poor whisky. This court sthands

The Chinese Wall.

An American engineer, who has
made the subject special study
on the spot, has calculated that the
Chinese wall has a contents of 49,
100000 cubic meters (6,350, 100000
cubic feet.) The cubic contents of
the Great Pyramid is only 241 200
meters. The material used i'll the
construction of the Chinese wall
would be sufficient to build a wall
round the globe Is meter (six feet)
high, and O.6 meter 1.-TWO feet3
thick. The same authority esti-
mates the cost of the Chinese wall
to be equal to the railway mileage
of the United States (12S.OOO)
miles. The stupendous work was
constructed in the comparatively
short period of twenty years.

Brutality of Men on Shipboard.

A Philadelphia gentleman who
was on board the Britannia when
she was struck by the Celtic says
that no description he has read of
the collision gives an adequate idea
of the panic that ensued among the
passengers. Four times did he
procure life-preserver for his wife
and four times was it torn from his
grasp, not, in each case, by one man
alone, but five or six, who, after OBJ
tanning it, struggled among them
selves for possession. He saw other
men deliberately knock women
down and rob them of their life
preservers. He says that he is
prouder to-day of being American
born than he ever was before in his
life, for the American saloon pas
sengers, without hardly an excep-
ton, behaved at the most critical
moment with self-restraint and gem
uine heroism.

The Prodigal Son Of 1887.

No, my son, it isn't that the
world has grown hard-hearted it
isn't that we aren't just as glad
to-day to see the prodigal come
back, and just as lovingly anxious
to welcome him home as ever was
anybody i'm the fifteenth chapter of
Luke. 1t is the manner in which
the prodigal son of 1887 frequently
returns that throws o wet blanket
over the festivities of the welcome.
When he comes down the road
with his hat hanging on his ear
and his hands in his pockets; when
he kicks the faithful old house dog
as he lounges in at the gate when
he calls his father "Guv'nor" and
the hired man Gull" when he
wants to know whats for dinner?'
before he has been in the house tif
teen minutes; when he gives his
eldest brother two fingers to shake,
and advises him to comb the hay
seed out of his hair; when lie
throws himselfinto the easiest chair
in the house, perches his feet on
the window sill and announces that
he'll take tub before dinner"
when he comes back with n gener-
ally forgiving air of good fellow
ship about him, and tries to make
all the rest of the family feel very
easy and reassured, then it is. my
son, that your father longs to run
and meet you while you are yet Il
great ways off, and fall upon your
neck with a plow-line and welt you
into a state of becoming humility
and patience by the time you are
ready to take off your hat to the
bound boy, and crawl up the front
steps to ask your brother to shake
hands with you. Good people are
just as glad to-day as they ever were,
my son, to see the prodigal come
home, but it does rattle them lit
tie to see him come home in . hack
and ask them to pay the driver and
send for his baggage.-Burdette.

Girard house saloon the other day.
"That is," he explained, IF l

glass or mug with a handle take
it in my left hand. l do that be-
cause everybody SO far as | have
noticed, used the right hand, and
SO keep myself free from infection
and possibly from a sore mouth. +"
But, see here, suggested his friend,
"you forgot that conscientious
fellow with a sore mouth would do
as you do-drink with his left hand,
and thus you run greater risk. "
The left-handed drinker was evil

Old book stores are increasing

who ransack towns within a radius
of 100 miles from the metropolis,
and very often with rich results.
Many an ancient cock-loft in a

instance, and sometimes paper or
book of great value is discovered
aud secured at a ridiculously low
figure. Old newspapers, engravings,
political cartoons, almanacs, and

but agreed to breakfast with his
family the next morning before ex-
amining the mine. After breakfast
the young ladies insisted on ac-
companying me and showing me
through the mine.
They were very polite, one OF
them going in front of me and di-
recting me where to take my sam
pies from. / noticed that she had
way of brushing her skirt against
the walls and leaning against them
just before l took a sample. !

usual, and watched closely. in an

her overskirt upon a projection and
pulled it back, allowing me to see
two or three little bags which were
hidden beneath it. l said nothing,
but soon ascended the shaft, saying
that l would complete my examina-
ton the next morning. When | re-
turned they again offered to accom-
pany me, but | declined, and they
withdrew their request on condi-
ton that would let them bring my
lamp to the mine, to which l
agreed.

ly sampling it, and got to the top
of the shaft before the ladies made
their appearance. | then filled a
sack with ore from the dump, and
sat down to wait for them. They
soon arrived and we all took lunch
together. One of them asked me
what / had in that sack. ! said that
it contained my samples. | soon
noticed that two of the young girls
managed to stand between me and
the sack while the other was busily
engaged looking for ring which
she said she had dropped near it.
After lunch / went to their home
with them, taking the sack with me,
which l left on the porch. Just be-
fore my wagon arrived to take me
to town l stepped out and got my
samples. Just as l was about to
drive off the father called out that
l had forgotten my sack. ! replied
that did not want those specimens
rs had taken others early in the
day. A look of blank surprise came
over his face, but ! drove off before
he had time to speak. That night
he came to the hotel and confessed
the whole scheme. The girls | had
met were not his daughters, but
had been hired by him to salt the
mine right under the noses of the
experts. He had provided them
with porous bags filled with an ad-
hensive compound of gold, which
they concealed in their skirts and
rubbed against the wall just before
a sample was taken. They had salt
ed my supposed samples, and it was
my refusal to take these to town
with me which showed the old gen.
tleman that had penetrated his
scheme.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
